Thanks to double digit scoring by the starting five, the College of the Siskiyou Lady Eagles cruised to a 87-58 Golden Valley Conference win against the College of the Redwood Corsairs Thursday night.

COS began the game on a 18-0 run before the Corsairs finally got on the scoreboard thanks to a free throw with 16:03 remaining in the first half. With 9:49 left in the half, COS had taken a very commanding 35-6 lead and showed why they are again contenders for the conference title, which they won last season. COR was able to get a few more points on the board and trailed 45-21 at the half.

In the second half it was all Eagles as COS came away with the 29-point victory.

Leading the way for COS was Yreka High graduate Carrie Watson with 21 points. Shyanna Ashworth had 19 points for the Eagles. Brianne Burnside chipped in 16 points, and Hailey Wales had 15 points. Anna Cameron finished with 10 points for COS. COS improved to 14-3 overall and 2-0 in the GVC.

COS head coach Tom Powers commended his team for the way they played on Thursday.

"Everything worked out for us tonight," he said. "We came out and did what we needed to do." The Lady Eagles face Butte on the road next Thursday and Shasta at home next Saturday. The game begins at 5:30 p.m.
